TEM & TEM-PS Assemblies QA ActivitiesTEM & TEM-PS Assemblies QA Activities

TEM assembly vendor qualification A quality survey was performed June 15-16 at General Technology

Corp. in Albuquerque, New Mexico– Survey team included LAT QA and GSFC QE– No issues were identified

• Excerpt from Survey Report» “General Technology Corporation (GTC) has demonstrated

their ability to fabricate a flight worthy product through their process and quality controls.”

Technical Exchange Meeting took place at General Technologies on June 30th LAT QA, Electronics Engineering, and Manufacturing Engineering

met with General Technologies technical staff to review and discuss technical requirements

On-site Quality Assurance and source inspection LAT Quality Assurance Engineer will be on site, full time for

source inspection and oversight at General Technologies– Individual will participate in Technical Exchange Meetings– Full time throughout all phases of hardware assembly and test

Workmanship StandardsWorkmanship Standards

ESD GTC-2004 Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive (ESDS) Material

Handling Procedure for Protection of Electronic Parts and Assemblies

– MIL-STD-1686 Electrostatic Discharge Control Program– MIL-HDBK-263 Electrostatic Discharge Control Handbook

Training– All personnel who handle ESDS components are required

to complete an ESD training course– Annual training is provided and documented

Facilities– Work Stations equipped with means for operator to

connect with ground– Work Stations equipped with static dissipative work

surface and inspected on monthly basis

Workmanship StandardsWorkmanship Standards

IPC/EIA J-STD-001C Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies. Personnel trained and certified by in-house instructor.

IPC J-STD-001CS Space Applications Electronic Hardware Addendum to Requirements for Soldered and Electrical and Electronic Assemblies. Personnel trained and certified by in-house instructor.

NASA STD 8739.4 Crimping, Interconnecting Cables, Harnesses and Wiring. Individual operator certification to NASA STD is not

required. GTC’s internal workmanship standards have been approved.

– Excerpt from NASA QE Survey Report• “The criteria for implementing NASA 8739.4 can be included in

the statement of work and would require no further action.”

Inspection RequirementsInspection Requirements

GTC will perform Receiving Inspection, In-Process Inspections and

Final Inspections per their internal inspection plan and procedures.

SLAC Quality Assurance Engineer will approve plan prior to any

assembly activities

Mandatory Inspection Points (MIP’s) to be performed by SLAC Source

Inspector. MIP’s will be documented on GTC’s traveler and stamped

by the SLAC Source Inspector after the inspection/witness activity.

100% Prior to conformal coat
